A quick run to the store for some bottled water, cookie dough and ice cream should be piece of cake right?! NOPE! At least not at the the University of Virgina, where a sorority girl was reportedly ARRESTED after purchasing LaCroix sparkling water, which was mistaken for a 12-pack of beer.

20-year-old Elizabeth Daly was driving out of the convenience store parking lot when one man jumped on the hood of her car while another PULLED A GUN ON HER. Turns out, they were agents with Virginia's Alcoholic Beverage Control, but because they were in plain clothes, Elizabeth and her roommates were completely confused and terrified.

"They were showing unidentifiable badges after they approached us, but we became frightened, as they were not in anything close to a uniform," Elizabeth Daly told Virginia's Daily Progress newspaper (via Gawker) of the April incident. "I couldn't put my windows down unless I started my car, and when I started my car they began yelling to not move the car, not to start the car. They began trying to break the windows. My roommates and I were ... terrified."

So she and her roomies were freaked and proceeded to drive away. Elizabeth called 911 after she fled the scene to report the incident when another Alcoholic Beverage Control agent pulled her over. This time, officials got their act together and used a marked police car and flashers--a little too late, if you ask us. Daly was then arrested and charged with three felonies--one for assaulting a police officer—and spent that night in jail. All of this over a case of seltzer?! Ay yi yi.

Making matters all the more outrageous, Elizabeth had recently just returned from a Take Back the Night event on campus before her run-in with the Virginia ABC. So can we blame her for being a little on edge about the whole I'm-a-stranger-and-I'm-advancing-on-your-car thing?

Prosecutors have reportedly dropped charges against Elizabeth Daly, but there's a full investigation in the works and until it's complete, the district attorney is standing by its Alcoholic Beverage Control officers, who are HELL-BENT on curbing the crime that is buying sparkling water underage drinking. Personally, I'd love to know what was going through the offers' heads when they found out Daly was buying water, cookie dough, and ice cream (and NOT booze) for an innocent fundraising event. #Awkward
